On the fifth day after Tian Fan left the camp, along the river, beside a small road between Qi County and Longshu County, a long procession was marching with difficulty.

This team had 3,000 people, and they pushed 1,400 wheelbarrows, carrying enough grain and bacon for Tian Fan's army to eat for half a month, and marched along this narrow road to Shu County with difficulty.

There were 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Army in charge of the escort, and their leader was Liu Quan, the captain of the Navy Academy. According to the plan, it was originally intended to use cao boats to transport grain to the vicinity of Longshu County in the upper reaches of the river, but because of the severe drought this year, the river water is shallow, and the cao boats carrying 600 stones can only sail to the vicinity of Lu'an County in the lower reaches of the river.

Wiping the beads of sweat from his face, he shouted, "Brothers, do your best! Our journey is already a little slow, and if it were any slower, General Tian and his 20,000 brothers would be hungry! ”

All the people echoed in unison, in groups of two, one pushing the cart and one pulling the cart, and the speed of action suddenly became a lot faster!

Liu Quan nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that it must be late, as long as he can get to Longshu County tonight, it will only be a day late, and it is not too difficult to explain!

During the night, the team finally drove to Longshu County.

Longshu County Governor, county lieutenant and other officials immediately came out to greet them and welcomed them to the county seat.

The people of Longshu County were so enthusiastic, and they didn't have any good intentions, they had already wanted to make up their minds when they saw these grains. But it was also such an unintentional action, but it avoided forcing Liu Quan and others into a situation from which they could never recover.

Chen Lan, Lei Bo and Han Shun, a total of 6,000 soldiers led by the three, originally wanted to intercept Liu Quan's grain transport team in the river valley between Qi County and Longshu County, but their soldiers had been half-starved and half-fed for more than half a month, lacked physical strength, and traveled too slowly to catch up. Now, they are ready to take advantage of the night to touch Liu Quan's camp, but at this moment...... They don't think they can take down Longshu County!

Liu Quan is a principled person, Tian Fan can't see the people starving, and would rather distribute part of his military rations to the people, but Liu Quan won't. First, he knew that he had a great responsibility, and second, he didn't have Tian Fan's status in Liu Bei's heart, he didn't dare!

As a result, the officials of Longshu County offered a great courtesy, but did not get any benefits, but lost the rations of two meals for 4,000 people......

Early the next morning, Liu Quan led the team to Shu County in the angry or unhappy eyes of the officials of Longshu County! This is already the fifth day after Tian Fan's departure, and Tian Fan's army only has two days of food left! Presumably they're in a hurry, right?

On the morning of this day, Tian Fanjun was in the camp.

Koji Yi is in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing the progress of various tasks in the past few days with several generals and colonels!

Wei Yan had already helped Gongsun Hao collect all the wood he needed, and the things that Tian Fan had explained had almost been built. Hao Zhao had already dug more than a dozen wells, which could ensure the living water of the sergeants to a certain extent, and all the wooden barrels in the camp were filled with water, enough for the army to last for two days.

The rest of the people are also doing a good job, and they don't need to say anything.

Koji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, several of them are doing well!" ”

Frowning slightly, he said with some concern: "It's just, why hasn't the food come yet?" Could something be wrong? ”

Wei Yan and the others looked at each other, and after a while, Wang Xiu pondered and said, "It shouldn't be, right?" In the process of transporting grain and grass in the army, there will always be accidents of one kind or another, and if there is an accident, it is normal to be a day or two late? ”

Wei Yan shook his head slowly and said, "Mr. Shuzhi's words are inappropriate!" There are regulations in the army that those who overdue military rations will be severely punished. Military rations are the lives of the soldiers, if the military rations cannot be delivered on time and in sufficient quantities, how can the soldiers have combat effectiveness at all? ”…,
